Very cool was that your first rain since you upcanned ? And would the leaves still be drooping without the ir heat ? I,m taking it this makes them transpire water faster?

yes it was, yes they would, and yes it does
they love the IR heat but I also turned it up to knock the humidity down as it went up 5 points after watering (makin it rain) with the heater on humidity went down 7 points
For the lurkers, the correct combination of temp & humidity dialed right gives stress free fast transporation, totally explained in the Noob Advice thread (during the class)

and for anybody that is attempting to add IR heat an hour after I turned it up to 85 I turned it back down to 82, once the humidity went down it did not need to be that high, I can not stress enough how important it is to mate the temp & humidity to each other!
that combined with proper lighting gives you great and vigorous growth (as you can see)
And it is ok if you lurkers ask questions?????
check in, join the conversation, have some fun

Ok a lot of you read my threads and some even follow my post and if you do you hear (read) me sayin all the time don't cut fan leaves, plants adapt to their enviroment and for the best yields it is best to let the plant do what it wants
Ok, so I top em, but that is about all I do and after I top em I let em do what they want.
Some of you might remember the pic from the Tilders grow where the leaf curled around the T9 (circle bulb) to get at the light?
Well here are some pics of plant #3 showing that the back set of leaves (furthest away from the light) are standin up and basking in the light, the alternate set (right under the light) are relaxed and just hangin out and at the bottom of pic 256 you'll see a big fan leaf in the shade of the upper leaves that has tilted to get more light. Why I say you do not need to remove or tuck leaves out of the way, left alone they will do what they need to do to complete their purpose in life.
another very important reason to not remove leaves is transporation, with how I make it rain, I need the plant to have a) a healthy root structure and b) healthy foilage so that it can wick the water out of the medium in a timely manner, removing leaves slows the wicking process way down and causes much slower growth.
and for those of you wondering? they have grown 1/2 inch since it rained this morning

Riddleme, are you counting nodal growth per plant each day? It looks more like your ladies are stretching than growing new nodes to me, especially considering they are under CMH. It looks like your infrared treatments could be generating this.

they have grown 5 nodes since I topped em, are now working on secondary branches, the NLS is showing a sativa pheno and is stretching more internodal spacing is 3 to 4 inches, 2 of the NL's are growing exactly the same internodal spacing is 1.5 to 2 inches and #1 is either a male or a runt as internodal spacing 1.2 to 1 inch it is much shorter overall than the others all getting the same heat and light so not sure I agree that the IR is causing anything, these are not pure indicas so I believe we're looking at different phenos or different sexes

You are growing Sensi NL #1 right? I believe I read that earlier in the journal.
riddleme

yes and kc brains northern light special
plant #'s 1, 2, and 3 are Sensi, #4 is the NLS
#1 is the runt

Im just going off the strain description on NL#1 at Attitude, and it says it is a pure Indica, so I would expect tighter nodes, but..then I read this on ICMAG about Sensi NL

grew sensi and seedsman version and you are well advised to avoid these, if its short and stocky you are seeking. these NL had lots of thai, huge lanky stretchers, loose bud structure, and a longer sativa flowering period.
sensi Hindu kush may get you what you're looking for. i grew it in a cross made by rez, and it was very grapey, very indica.

yesterday we had a lesson from #3 and I took a top down pic, today I had to put it on the floor to get it all, when I made it rain it was 12 inches (pic1) now just one day later it is 15 inches tall, seems the wait was worth it, I'm thinking the roots found the sunshine mix
